So, the Post Office has lost my package "in transit" and have told me to file a claim (check) and I figured I should send am email to Gencon asap telling them the sitch (check)... Anyone have any idea how long I'll have to wait for contact back from Gencon Supoort about this? How long it will take for the Post Office to mark the pacjage as lost & reimburse Gencon?

You should get a claim from the USPS, but they don’t reimburse anything to Gen Con. The packets aren’t insured, and have no intrinsic value.

Thanks for the reply

I sent an email to Customerservice@gencon.com on the afternoon of July 14th. Am beginning to get nervous about the lack of response...

As for the reimbursment, that was my 1st thought as well, but under the shipping info on the USPS Website the package is listed as "Priority Mail" which requires a sig for delivery and is insured up to $100.00. Seems weird to choose the insured mail option for an item that can't be insured, but it's possible there's factors I'm not accounting for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, Priority Mail is insured by default, and maybe Gen Con makes a claim, but when you think about what's in the envelope, it's just paper & a laminated badge. However, they may get the claim to reimburse themselves for the time & trouble. :-)

I enjoy frivilous pursuits that don't affect me as much as the next guy, but this thread is definitely more about how long I should wait before freaking out about not getting a response back from Gencon / also making sure

customerservice@gencon.com

was the right place to send my issue, what with time till convention running short.

I simply assumed you'd escalate with them if you didn't hear back quickly. As others have said, it's time to call them.

Sorry, my tone must have come off more cauatic than the (intended) whimsical. Had looked for a CS # but wasn't able to find one prior to the post by Brooks.

You should have been contacted by now.
If not or just for peoples information. Here is our mailing policy in full.

All returned packets are taken to the show and can be picked up at the Will Call or Customer Service kiosk onsite.

All packets marked as "Lost" "Out for Delivery" "Returned" (But not in our hands) when the show starts will be reprinted on site at the Customer Service kiosk onsite for free.

If a packet is marked as "Delivered", then you can also get it reprinted at the Customer Service kiosk onsite but you must pay the full price for it.

Probably missed something but I'm sure one of you will point that out to me...I'm swamped as you can probably guess!

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I was able to contact customer service thanks to the number provided by Brooks yesterday. I spoke with... umm, Tony I think? Anyway, he was able to straighten it out. I also received an email from customer service last night which repeated that I can get my badge and tickets printed at the customer service kiosk on Wednesday.
